This cow was kind of hard to get a picture with, but this petting zoo section of the fair was absolutely ginormous! There were so many animals to see! Bunnies, chickens, goats, llamas, horses, a donkey, cows, sheep, goats, pigs and I'm sure there was more.
HELLO COW!
One of the favorite parts of the day for the kids was getting to see all the little piggies! Kira just LOVES pigs. She and Zoey were so excited because they got to reach through the little gate and actually touch the piglets. We also got to see a big mommy and daddy pig with like 10 little piggies next to them. What a big happy family! We got Kira a little piggy stuffed animal and Zoey a little pink and white cow stuffed animal as souvenirs. They just love their little farm animals.
Then we went to go see some bunnies. The girls loved those because they were so small and fluffy!
This was a really big moment for me as well as Kira. I was really nervous letting her go on these rides by herself. This was the first time I haven't been able to go on a ride with her. I usually go with her and Zoey when we go to Disneyland. She did so good! It was really funny and kind of nerve racking for me though because she was screaming while she was on the rides. When she got off, I asked her why she was screaming, was it because she was scared or because she was having fun and she said she was having fun! lol... Could've fooled me. I was really nervous. She barely made the height requirement for both of these rides... It's so hard letting her grow up! She just seems so little for these things to me still. =T But she had a great time!
It's always fun getting to buy the cool food they have at the fair. I got a chili cheese dog, Ian got this delicious blooming onion and we got the kids a shake and some chicken. It was all so greasy and delicious!!!
Definitely a highlight of the day was getting to ride an elephant! We got to ride as a whole family. It was my first time on an elephant for sure. The kids just love elephants too. This was such a fun experience for us all!
Another AMAZING thing at the fair was the acrobat show. It was so amazing and the music was very intense and powerful! The show lasted quite a while. We got to see 5 different women perform (one of which looked like she was about 12 years old!) and 2 guys. They did all sorts of performances in mid-air tying themselves up with ropes, scarves and metal hoops. It was truly a very entertaining, amazing and impressive show! I just can't believe the muscle tone and talent these people have!
Zoey was totally copying the dancers. It was so cute. She was doing all these little moves and backbends the whole time.
This lady was my favorite performer. Her number was so graceful and she just looked like an angel as she performed. She's the one all tangled up in the scarf above. She moved so freely and made it look totally easy. She was really talented!
Our last little photoshoot after the show. What a fun day this was! Totally memorable. The kids had such a blast and I know we'll be talking about our day at the fair for a long time! Happy Birthday Ian honey! Thank you so much for being the greatest dad and husband in the whole world!!! We love you so much!
